(e.g., mail addressed to a!b%c should be >delivered to c, which then interprets a!b) is unfortunate... It is also untrue, Jeff. There was one confusing example in the RFC (see my previous message), but they stated quite clearly that % should have lowest precedence of any routing operators, if you give it any at all. AND they specifically give ! as an example of an operator that should have higher precedence. Next subject, please. -- Eliot Lear [lear@turbo.bio.net]
